If you’ve ever had to change a tire or do any other roadside/trailside repair that required you to use a makeshift moto lift, you know it’s no fun looking around for a stump, a pile of rocks or some other way to jack up the bike. Enter the new Trail Stand from Trail Tech—when it comes time to fix the bike, it will make your life easier.

The design is very basic, and if you’ve been around the dual sport scene for a while, you’ve probably seen similar before. Here’s how Trail Tech says it works:

The Trail Stand is a lightweight, collapsible support tool for off-road and adventure motorcycle maintenance. It offers a secure third point of contact, allowing riders to lift their bikes on uneven terrain. The stand collapses to a compact 10 inches for easy storage and extends to 19 inches, accommodating a wide range of motorcycles. It features a lightweight, collapsible design that stows neatly in the included mesh zipper carry bag, making it convenient for any adventure.

A standout feature is the machined aluminum feet with molded silicone pads, ensuring maximum traction on loose surfaces. The feet pivot to maintain flat contact with the ground, enhancing stability even on uneven surfaces. The included Velcro strap also secures the brake lever during repairs, preventing unwanted movement.

You can see the gadget demonstrated in the video above. Use it to support your motorcycle on the other side of the kickstand, using your front or rear wheel as the third point of a tripod. It is not as stable as a stand on your shop floor, but it’s a good solution for riders on the go, especially in desert areas where there might not be much to work with otherwise, if you have to prop the fore or aft end of the bike in the air.

Similar devices have been home-brewed by dual sport riders for years, but with the rising costs of the materials used, the savings between a DIY solution and this kit might not be worthwhile. Speaking of which, the MSRP is $79.99 for the ready-made solution—see here.
